Although I’m out of the handyman business since 2007, and focused on my hot tub repair ( AllSpaRepair.com) business, I still do a few unusual and challenging repairs. A couple furnace repairs this week for friends with no heat, and a Samsung bottom freezer fridge. Word is out that most appliance guys refuse to work on Samsung appliances, and for good reasons. While they make excellent TV’s and phones, they are experiencing a painful learning curve in appliances, so don’t buy one for a few more years….
That said, I did the research and replaced the Icemaker and defrost heater. The ice buildup from the failed defroster caused the water inlet for the Icemaker to clog with ice. One thing Leeds to another and customer had no ice and water dripping inside fridge for almost a year because nobody would fix it. It took 3 trips, $125 in parts and about 6 hours to finally get it working. It was the agony of defeat for a while, but the harder the journey, the more glorious the victory at last!
